Answer:

[tex]50+5t=C[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the electrician spends t hours at the house working.

Amount charged for every house call by electrician = $50

The electrician earned a total of $400 for a 5 hour job.

Also, C denotes total cost of the electrician's services.

So, the equation for C in terms of t is given below.

[tex]50+5t=C[/tex]

Here, [tex]C=400[/tex]
